Meet River

Meet River!
River is a very sweet and playful 6 month old red tri standard Aussie with a nub tail. This precious girl weighs about 40 pounds. True to her breed, River is a smart cookie. She knows some basic commands, like sit and down, and she's ready to learn even more! She is working on her leash skills and making great progress. River is crate trained and house trained. She is a little nervous in the car, but she rides well in a crate. The more she learns that the car can mean a new fun place, the better we think she will do.
River loves all people and being near them, including children, though she is still learning not to jump up on them. She has a real zest for life, so she might be overwhelming to really young children. River also adores other dogs and will engage in a game of chase, wrestle or tug! River does chase cats but not aggressively. She just wants to play.
The ideal home for River is active, patient and loving! As a young, energetic Aussie, River will need an adopter who can continue her socialization and training and provide the mental and physical exercise she needs. A fenced yard would be ideal, and another playful dog would be great - though she might also enjoy being the center of attention, as long as she gets ample opportunity to socialize with other dogs.
River is currently located outside of ARMA's operating area in Kingsport, TN. Adopters within the DMV who are interested in traveling to meet her would be welcome to do so, or we can transport her to the DMV for a foster to adopt home. If you're an approved ARMA adopter and interested in River, please reach out to the volunteer who conducted your home visit. If you're not already an approved adopter but are interested in River, apply today!
